When you are using MySQL, you will (likely) have tables that can be fragmented. In MySQL terms this is called “OPTIMIZE”.<\/p>\n
You could simply OPTIMIZE every table in every database, but during an OPTIMIZE, the tables are locked, so writing is not possible.<\/p>\n
To minimize the time that MySQL will be locked (and results cannot be written), here is a script that checks fragmentation of every table of every database. Only if a table is fragmented, the table is OPTIMIZED.<\/p>\n
